Usher on Channeling Frank Sinatra for New Ralph Lauren Fragrance Campaign: It's a ‘Grand Moment for Me'
All products and services featured are independently chosen by editors. However, Billboard may receive a commission on orders placed through its retail links, and the retailer may receive certain auditable data for accounting purposes. Usher is now a brand ambassador for Ralph Lauren Fragrances. The Grammy-winning artist who has brought many iconic hits over the years such as 'Yeah!,' 'U Got It Bad,' 'My Boo' and 'Confessions,' is now the face of Ralph's Club New York Eau de Parfum. This new partnership surprisingly serves as Usher's first fragrance campaign and Ralph Lauren Fragrances' first partnership with a major award-winning music artist. More from Billboard 'AGT' Contestant Had No Idea Her Mom Signed Her Up to Audition, But She Still Blew Simon Cowell Away ATEEZ Launches Official In Your Fantasy Tour Merch on Amazon So You'll Be Concert Ready in No Time Ashlee Simpson's Las Vegas Residency at The Venetian: How to Buy Affordable Tickets Online Shop Ralph's Club New York Eau de Parfum here Similar to Ralph's timeless appeal, the new campaign aims to capture the glamour of Manhattan's golden age, celebrating the city's modern energy, authenticity and enduring excellence. Usher, who's known for his Southern upbringing, has always been inspired by the city that never sleeps, which played a major role in the singer's career early on. The Atlanta native recorded his first album in NYC in 1997, while Ralph Lauren founded his brand in Manhattan 30 years earlier in 1967, making it appropriate for both men to celebrate the Big Apple. 'I have the greatest respect and admiration for what Mr. Lauren has accomplished and I could not be more happy and proud to join Ralph Lauren Fragrances,' Usher said in a statement. 'This is a brand that represents the best of who I want to be as an entrepreneur, a creator, and a man. I'm inspired and energized — this partnership feels like coming home.' The campaign sees the 'Yeah!' singer as the face for Ralph's Club New York Eau de Parfum. Starting at $110, the fragrance debuted Wednesday (July 16), and is available to shop online on the brand's site, as well as in store at Macy's. The fragrance channels the same confident spirit that Usher has long embodied both on and off the stage. With notes of lavender and bourbon and a grounding base of sandalwood, the fragrance is both classic and unexpected. 'We creating something that was a bit more sweet, with black currant being a very high note, and bergamot being something that you smelled at the top, and then lavender and sandalwood being something that was grounding the bottom,' Usher tells Billboard. 'This is a very unique scent that would allow you to feel comfortable wherever you are.' Ralph's Club New York Eau de Parfum $135 Buy Now on ralph lauren To bring the campaign to life, Usher set out to compose an original song to accompany the fragrance, an effort inspired by the sophistication and spirit of Frank Sinatra's iconic 'Theme From New York, New York,' which peaked at No. 32 on the Billboard Hot 100 in June 1980. Speaking with Billboard, Usher opens up his love for New York City, reimagining Sinatra's iconic song, picking out fragrances and what drew him to Ralph Lauren. From fashion shows to the recent Met Gala to this Ralph Club New York campaign, can you explain your relationship with the Ralph Lauren brand? If you're from the South, you know, being polo down is obviously an expression of culture. We were all borrowing this idea based off of the cultural relevance of polo sport. I can remember the first time I bought a puffy vest, or if you had a skull cap and the goggles up on the right side of your hat, these were all things that we saw in terms of marketing, but also understanding the imprint of Ralph Lauren at that time. Fast forward, wearing double RL, going to a ton of tennis events and seeing some of that swag, getting prepared for a formal event, you always look to purple label or Ralph to make certain that you got it right. Whether it was for summer, resort wear, all of those things, he was always there to accommodate something that you wanted to be immersed in. Even going to the stores, nine times out of 10, you feel as though you were immersed in this world. You don't even have to necessarily purchase anything. You can literally go to the store, just to have a coffee and actually feel as though you were in the the idea of his thought. So to organically now make this moment happen and be a part of now the family and an ambassador of this fragrance, I'm very happy. This is a very bold chapter of my life, but also a very bold chapter in the history and the legacy that Ralph has made. And Ralph Club New York is that introduction. Can you explain the significance that the city of New York has played throughout your career? You either get lost in New York, or you find yourself in New York. It is the birthplace of so many cultural moments, rather contemporary, musical, style, architecture, all of these things you find in the melting pot that is New York City. It's the kind of the place where all cultures are accepted and all ideas can fly. My career started in New York City, even though I'm not originally from New York. Even this campaign for me was my love letter to New York and all of what it has offered me and has meant to me as an observer in history and times. New York is a city that welcomes the entire world with open arms. I remember as a kid finding out so much about life being in this melting pot and understanding the daily hustle, as well as, the nightlife and what it offers and what it creates in terms of a cultural imprint that many cities all around the world try to adopt. How does it feel to be able to reimagine an iconic song like 'New York, New York' by Frank Sinatra? This is a very iconic anthem that Frank Sinatra did before I was even born in 1977, which immortalizes this kind of concept that, if you make it in New York, you can make it anywhere. It is the very idea that that embodies a very bold spirit that is about a city that never sleeps. But it also gave us a song that is about this ambitious goal to be innovative and reinvent yourself, and make it big, man. So for me, to be able to have Frank Sinatra spirit in the middle of all of what I'm creating, and look at even some of the photographs when we were creating it, and then reimagine it in my own way. Pun intended 'my way.' I had this opportunity to re-engineer this idea with the energy of something that is timeless and classic, honoring him, honoring Ralph. What do you look for when picking out your scent? How does a fragrance stand out to you? Well, many people approach fragrance and their selection differently. For me, it all starts with the fragrance. Most people would look at a fragrance as an accessory. How I feel starts with the way I smell. So, when I get out of the shower and I did all the things that I needed to do to get myself ready. I spray this. It now puts me in a certain mindset, and now I go and I create from that place. I think that they wanted to create something by way of the design of the bottle, to create something that was masculine and sophisticated. In terms of the scent, Ralph wanted to create something that was timelessly elegant, that was bold, but had a modern spirit. Ralph's Club New York Eau de Parfum $135 Buy Now on ralph lauren What would you like for fans to take away from this campaign? I hope that fans are ready to take a journey. I think that that's the one thing that you look forward to with Ralph Lauren, that you feel as though you were immersed in an idea and you're brought to a different place. Well, that place is New York. That place is club New York. Us being able to work in the short amount of time that we did, with a very incredible group of people to create memorable, creative, iconic photographs, as well as a video piece that is a commercial. For me, it is a next chapter. It's a next chapter of my season, and it's the next chapter in my story. I feel like this is a really, really grand moment for me in terms of where I am, iconically and fashionably, it is something that feels very special in terms of the collaboration between myself and Ralph.

Usher channels old-school New York cool in his new Ralph Lauren campaign
Usher is embracing a new creative era as the face of Ralph Lauren Fragrances' latest launch, Ralph's Club New York Eau de Parfum. Known for reinventing himself across music, fashion, and entertainment, the eight-time Grammy winner now steps into the world of scent, bringing his signature sophistication to the iconic brand. The fragrance, infused with lavender, bourbon, and sandalwood, is a nod to the golden age of New York and the smooth elegance of legends like Frank Sinatra. Inspired by the city's energy, Usher composed an original track for the campaign, reimagining Sinatra's classic 'New York, New York' with his own melodic twist. 'It was about creating something timeless, yet mine,' he told L'Officiel. Usher spoke of the city as more than a backdrop. 'New York is where I started. It shaped me,' he said, reflecting on the city's role in fashion, music, and culture. 'You can get lost in New York, and that's the beauty of it. You find yourself.' The campaign's visuals were crafted by top talent, including director Jacob Sutton and photographers Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott, alongside choreographer Tariq Patterson. The result is a dynamic short film blending the luxury of Studio 54-era nightlife with Harlem Renaissance flair and modern-day elegance. While the new song won't be released widely, Usher hints at its staying power. 'If people love it, who knows what might happen?' For Usher, the collaboration goes beyond celebrity branding, it's personal legacy. 'This project reflects who I've been and who I am now,' he said. 'To work with a house like Ralph Lauren, it's timeless. It means something.'

Usher on Childhood Scents, Oprah's Wisdom, and His Philosophy on Love
With his buttery voice and killer moves, his boyish 'who, me?' grin, his incomparable style—and, yes, his abs—Usher has been giving a clinic on smoothness for almost three decades. He's won Grammys (8), notched top-ten hits (18!), and is now the face of the new Ralph's Club New York fragrance from Ralph Lauren. Because you can't be as smooth as Usher without a deep understanding of the importance of smelling great. Below, he shares the life lessons he learned from his mom—and Oprah, his favorite meal to cook, and how to tell when you really like someone. Life. I always think of my childhood when I smell ivy. I love the smell of ivy, and the South has a lot of it. Or the smell of honeysuckle in the summer. Walking through a field of peaches and smelling the essence in the air, and what it felt like to be there. If I'm by the sea, the scent of the breeze. The sweetness of the summer—bubble gum, things like that. You only have one time to leave a lasting impression. There's the idea of you attempting to be what you think everybody else wants you to be, but the best you you can be is you. It's the importance of integrity. My grandmother, too, teaching me that no matter how long you live, what you do with the time you're given determines how long your impression stays when you're gone. These are things that only a Black woman from the South would be able to prepare me for. Oprah Winfrey and the fact that she's always used her light to shine light on others. She's taught me that sometimes we share more than we need to, and not everybody deserves your whole truth right away. Everyone isn't smart as you think they are, and everybody isn't as dumb as you may think they are. So be patient, listen more than you talk. And when you find a wife, you find a companion, you find a queen. When you start to understand the importance of leaving the seat down, it's a grand sign of love and acceptance. It means you're beginning to transform. You go to the restroom and you start to think, Wait a minute, let me leave the seat down. Now, hmm, why did I start thinking that way? I must like her! Plus, you don't want the other side of it, when she complains about falling in in the middle of the night. The best way to tell a woman you are sorry is to say it. But the best way for it to have a lasting impression is for her to believe it through your actions. I'm a breakfast-all-day type guy. I'm Mr. Brinner: breakfast for dinner. I can make fresh pancakes. I make this amazing Tuscan egg toast that I created: I cut out the center of a nice piece of bread—you cut some substantial slices; don't make it super thin. And I bake an egg in the middle of it. That's easy. Anita Baker. Anita Baker all day. The next one, if you want super cool? Sade. You can't go wrong with Sade, man. You know what I tell my wife? We ain't gotta go nowhere tonight, because I am the party. Everything you want, you can have right here. You want bottle service, I got you. You want loud music, I got you. You wanna Netflix and chill? I got you. You wanna invite over people and we have game night, I got you. You wanna sit over in the corner and let's read a book, chapter for chapter? Because we do that. We take a book and just read to each other and we share in the knowledge. And if we want to burn a hookah, we burn a hookah. You want me to sing to you? I got you. We can make it all work at home. Everybody can. Not everybody has a pool, but everybody can make a hookah and dance and read a book.
